The cathedral in the Spanish city of Salamanca was constructed in 1102, and is therefore one of the oldest such constructions in the world. It features magnificent stone carvings on all its walls, but one of them is a bit more special than the others, so to speak. It bears the depiction of what appears to be a fully dressed astronaut in a space suit, complete with details such as the sole of his shoes. Nobody knows how he got there, or what a 20th century astronaut is doing on the walls of a 12th century religious building...

KNOW that if settler culture where the only culture that remained on this land, this abominable, greedy Enbridge project to fuel the growth of the largest slave state ever while increasing the planet's temperature would already be approved. Indeed they would already be building it. That a comparative abundance of Wild Nature still exists here in BC is owed solely to millenia of First Nations' care. It is therefore our duty to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in this fight to save the very last intact temperate rainforest ecosystem left on Earth.

George was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.

He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."

Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

Afraid of the TRUTH? There are LOTS of dead dolphins laying on the shores Mr. Putnam, and deadly toxic tarballs, and OIL, and so much more. Instead of defending BP, perhaps it's time for you to realize the truth. BP has destroyed our shores, our infrastructure, our economies, our seafood market, our lives. Get with the program, and support full prosecution by the DOJ.

These military equipment and planes are all operated by British tax payers money. So basically the tax payers are paying them to order these planes to do everything they can, not to neutralize the situation, but to cover up their mess with extreme toxins used back in Gulf BP Oil Spill.

Research on the effects of Corexit dispersant on marine bacteria proves that Corexit is worse than ineffective -- Corexit actually destroys the naturally occurring hydrocarbon-metabolizing bacteria and causes proliferation of another bacteria species, Vibrio, that is extremely dangerous to humans and marine mammals!

What makes it worth mentioning are its high-tech features that give the freedom of camping with all electronic facilities.

Designed in association with American product design consultancy kaleidoscope, this futuristic tent can supply energy harnessed from sun to portable gadgets like cell phones and laptops through wireless charging pouch.

Specially coated solar threads are woven into conventional fabric and can be folded easily. Because of its light weight it sets you free from carrying conventional heavy solar panels.

The three directional glides can be rotated in any direction to follow the sun whole day. Not only this, but it incorporates ‘glo-cation’ technology which helps the festive-goers to track the location using either an SMS message or automatic active RFID technology.

It will make the tent glow in dark so that you can easily recognize your destination.

At the heart of the tent lies a central wireless control hub which indicates the amount of energy generated on a flexible touchscreen LCD display screen.

Further, the tent includes an internal heating element embedded within the tent’s groundsheet which is controlled by the central hub.

It's been over three years since a massive coal ash spill at a TVA power plant in Tennessee inundated a community and contaminated rivers, and long-promised federal rules to improve coal-ash disposal are still not in place. Today a coalition of environmental and public health groups, including several from across the South, filed a federal lawsuit in hopes of forcing EPA to take action.

Environmental and public health groups will file a lawsuit today in the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, to force the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to complete its rulemaking process and finalize public health safeguards against toxic coal ash. Although the EPA has not updated its w...
